The torn one, the shredded one, the one sitting by the windowThe one that drinks alone, The one summoned abruptly from the others, Reticent soldier! The one whose eyes are two red moonsThe solitary oneClenched soul, Drunken lover of the renaissanceOrphan of the underdogs! The one whose blood is soiledSchizophrenicAt times the earth spins like a ball in my palm'The one looking in the mirror'The one with a dagger hidden awayThe one banished! Banished to that damp corridor between shadow, soul and gut'The one without a name in Maths classThe one made of graniteThe kissed mouth, The bitten mouth, WayfarerThe one without a face on the streetsOf LagosShiba[2012]
